Hello, I have a low smile line. What might be causing this? Could it be my frenum, the size of my lips, or something else? Would a lip tie correction or a lip lift procedure be helpful?

Hi, I like to make sure the filler is dissolved at least two weeks in advance. This allows for some of the swelling to be relieved, and will have a much more accurate anatomical vision of what your lip looks like. If this is not doable a weeks time maybe adequate
That is not likely but aging is definitely the reason for loss of lip volume, projection, thinning. Fillers and lip lift in selected patients would create nice improvement.
I recommend a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.
Best Wishes,
